So Dogg made the Vault predictions of all elements, we could try using decks specifically against some decks that are effective against us.
lava golems are the best creatures in the game cause I said so

To mostly repeat what I said in chat,

:air The Mormegil
Candlelight is worth a shot against air. Good chance against everything they've got, and they didn't bust out any giant stalls in round 1. Might even be able to beat their Poison deck, if you can deflag Arsenics. RoF, Fire Buckler, and if they bring Gases, Reflective Shield are all good shots here. Flying Owl's Eyes are tough, but Fire Bolt easily trades 2 cards for one in such a situation.

:light ak65ala
We might be smart to take advantage of the event card here. We already have a decent vault commitment to light, and 12 more cards would be huge. Minor Phoenixes from Napalm really beef up the mono, too, since otherwise we struggle with cheap early creatures.

:gravity TheIdioticIdiot
They took a big hit in round 1. We really had their number with RTs, and they still aren't that versatile. I don't think they necessarily assume we play RT again, I wouldn't mind repeating that strategy and seeing what happens. Otherwise, perhaps a rush?

:entropy DSSCRA
Still a tough call. I'm still not sure what entropy will bring against us. They are a very rock-paper-scissory match-up. Immophoenix has a shot at anything, so it could be worth a shot. CC is an ok soft counter to Antimatter (and we know DSSCRA has Purple Nymphs), but antimatter could still be trouble. Not too much we can do about that though.

:earth $$$man
I wouldn't mind repeating the Wings deck, I don't think they'd expect that, and it stops Graboids in their tracks. Otherwise, I think something pillarless, as EQs as a stall counter might be considered essential to them. Immophoenix or maybe a Novagrabby.

:life Falcon4415
I'm afraid of adrenastaves, but they haven't even shown that yet for some reason, and it might be better places against teams that can't actually kill a 7 HP creature, or outstall it. They showed no pillarless decks. They are very susceptible to EQ and I think we should bring the EQ version of Immogolem against them.

:aether pikachufan2164
Candlelight. They can counter it, but they showed a counter to everything we have, so we have to pick something. We can still withstand losses to Candlelight this early, so I think we should play both. Worth a shot here, I think.

:water The dictator
Water is always tricky to predict. I still don't know what to say here. Going by their played decks, I think a rush could do well here, as well. Poison vs Rush is a hard call to make. Maybe go Poison of our own with the Arsenic/Bone Wall build? Or an Entropy duo with Discord? I like that idea, actually. Tomorrow's the last day to decide, but it wouldn't be difficult to put one together (especially since we built some during vault construction).
